Why is playing with barbies such a "girl" thing and playing with cars such a "boy" thing? It's sad that it keeps otherwise passionate individuals from pursuing something they could really love for fear of being judged.

Here were some of the answers.
It's Sad When We Shun Affection
GiphyIf it would be okay for me to be more affectionate to people without them thinking that I'm either gay or into them, because I say I love you a lot to my friends (because I care about them!) but some of them get uncomfortable so I don't.
No Good Choice
GiphyI mean the women in my life hate when I talk about feelings.
Happy=nothing to report
Sad=some sh-t I gotta deal with on my own
That only leaves anger, and considering the stereotype for men to be an angry sort... yeah. We only want to talk to you about feelings when it's something that's pissing us off, and after a while you just think we have anger problems so we don't do it too much.
More Floofy Hair
GiphyWhen I was 15-16 and I had long hair I was messing around with the 30 different hair things my mom had
I did something right cus I looked like Naruto for a week
So floofy
So ploofy
I'm pretty sure I looked like a paintbrush but the Combs couldn't comb it down at all...
Just Wanna Look Pretty
GiphyMani-pedi. I could really use one, but I'd have to go with someone, preferably a woman, because I just cannot handle that particular brand of social anxiety alone.
Why Are Leg Positions A Gender Thing?
GiphyI cross my legs sometimes when I sit. It's just more comfortable to me until I have to switch but it's pretty rare if I ever see any other guy sit in the same position. Usually it's the skinnier guys who are more likely to do it.
Sometimes I'll sit properly with both feet on the ground or cross my legs like a guy when I get conscious of other people around me even though it's less comfortable.
Danse La Femme
GiphyFunny story. Made a promise to my gf that if they couldn't find a male for the male part in their dance for the dance team (like art dance no cheerleading sh-t) that I'd join. 3 weeks later they didn't find anyone so I kept to my word and joined. I was the only guy with 15 girls and my friends couldn't believe it when I told them. To be honest, it was awesome. I got to experience something that I've never done close to in my life. It took emotion, execution, and some physical strength. I gained so much respect for dance as an art form from this experience and it is something I highly recommend guys to try out. Through six competitions, I only say like 6 guys. Don't be scared to jump into it even if you're a little bit interested
More Cooking Pleeaaaaase
GiphyIt's less that I don't do it, but more that I don't talk about it with most folk I know.
But I f-cking LOVE to cook and bake. Main dishes, side dishes, desserts (I REALLY like making desserts,) breads, muffins- f-ck, I've even made my own home-made donuts using an old recipe that called for LARD. I love cooking and baking. Love it.
Looking Fabulous Has No Gender
GiphyMakeup.
Not, like, blue eyeshadow and lipstick, but maybe some stuff to cover that annoying zit. Or stuff to make my beard look more full and thick
Maybe even a touch of eyeliner to make my eyes pop. Who knows.
Yas Smooth Skin
GiphyA few weeks back I was with my niece when we somehow got on the topic of razors and shaving and stuff. She only started shaving her legs in the fall, and mentioned how she hadn't done it all winter since, because she wears pants all the time in the cold, nobody would see and judge her for it. I said that's funny, because I only shave my legs in the winter since, because I wear pants all the time in the cold, nobody would see and judge me for it. She burst out laughing, she thought it was the funniest joke I've ever told.
I wasn't joking.
It Fits.
GiphyFor me I golf the women's tees. My favorite golf balls are "women" balls. Baseball, women's softball bat was always the best. Fit best in women's size shoes. The list goes on and on. My only problem is why do so many of them have to be pink or bright neon. Well it used to be, it is getting better.
Generally speaking, we watch movies to escape our current realities and be transported to other worlds.
As a result, we don't always walk into movie theaters hoping for a truly authentic or genuine experience.
After all, how many people in real life actually met the love of their life at the top of the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day, after hearing them on the radio?
When it comes to historical fiction and dramas, however, some might say the facts and historical accuracy are a bit more important.
Indeed, part of the ongoing grudge over Shakespeare In Love's surprise Oscar victory over Saving Private Ryan was the latter was applauded for its accuracy, while the victor was anything but.
However, what probably helped in Shakespeare In Love's upset despite its many historical inaccuracies was that when push came to shove, it was a very good movie.
Redditor Agreeable-Beach-3009 was curious to hear what other films people thought were so good, that their anachronisms and inaccuracies should be overlooked, leading them to ask:
"What's a historically inaccurate movie that gets a pass because of how good it is?"
You Mean, Rasputin WASN'T A Demonic Sorcerer?
"'Anastasia'."
"Can you imagine getting murdered, then a movie gets made implying the woman who claimed your identity was the real deal and had to fight a freaky wizard's curse, and there were two knockoff movies made in the same year?"

"Amadeus."- Sgtp3ppers
"I feel like 'Amadeus' gets a pass because it's an adaptation of a stage play and as an adaptation, it's not trying to be historically accurate but to instead tell a great story, which it does phenomenally."- LadicusRex

More Memorable Than The Truth?
"The 1970 production 'Tora, Tora, Tora' pulled off one of the great cons of modern cinematography."
"It convinced an entire generation of Americans that after the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Admiral Yamamoto had said 'I fear that all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve'."
"There is no evidence that the quote was ever spoken by Yamamoto."
"But it was so perfect and convincing that subsequent Hollywood movies released in 2001 (Pearl Harbor) and 2019 (Midway) unquestioningly passed it off as legitimate."- InstrumentRated
Movies are, first and foremost, a source of entertainment.
As a result, most viewers pay no mind at all to all the complaints historians and scholars may have about them.
If you're looking for speedy answers for a history test or essay, it's best to stick to the textbooks and not rely on Spielberg or Scorcese.
